Will Kooks LTs scrape if?

Will kooks lt's scrape if my stock y-pipe does now? I purchased the car and the front is lowered quite a bit. Not sure what they used for springs but the springs are NOT cut stockers. If the kooks will scrape, what is the best way to raise it enough to not scrape?

If the stock header/Y-pipe scrapes all the headers will scrape..You'd just need to replace the front springs with a brand that will raise it.Did you measure your fender height to give us an idea how low it is?

what measurement? From the top of the tire to the fender lip? The top of the tire is basically flush with the bottom of the fender lip!

This link should work to show it.

Kinda looks like mine but maybe just a tad lower then mine...G2 Super Springs up front and maybe just stock springs in the back. Sweet *** rims i like those a lot.

When i had my g2 super springs on nothin scraped. Now that i have qtp long tubes and ory the y scraped in some places.

Actually now that i look at my picture of the front it looks about a half inch to one inch lower then mine.

Yeah its scary low in my opinion. The y-pipe only has about 4 scrapes on it and I think I remember them all. Anyone have a recommendation of how to raise it enough for kooks? Maybe Gen-f hals and their springs, would that work or what. Just looking for the EASIEST fix. Can I buy completely assembled strut/springs for the front. So I just unbolt and bolt. I dont have a spring compressor.
